With residents deeply concerned over Councilmember Omar Torres’s ability to adequately serve them, San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan has assured District 3 constituents that his office will help bridge some of the leadership and services gaps in the absence of their embattled representative.
San Jose City Councilmember Omar Torres listens to a question following a rally in front of San Jose City Hall to express concerns over Mayor Matt Mahan ’s plan to reallocate Measure E funds in downtown San Jose , Calif., on Tuesday, May 16, 2023.
But in the course of the investigation, authorities uncovered text messages where Torres described an 11-year-old autistic boy’s genitalia and asked the man, “U got any homies under 18” while the two appeared to plan a sexual encounter. Should Torres reverse course in the future, the city would then fill the position through either a special election or appointment process.
Support among Torres’ constituents also shows signs of cracking, with residents from various neighborhoods imploring the City Council to do more.
